  • TO ALL HEADS of RE at NORFOLK and SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOLS RE: Farmington Institute for Christian Studies
    TO ALL HEADS OF RE AT NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK HIGH SCHOOLS 28th November 2003 Dear Colleague RE: Farmington Institute for Christian Studies - Fellowships 2004 The Farmington Institute is offering the annual opportunity to apply for Fellowships. Would you be interested in applying? Following recent discussions here at the RE Centre we have decided to hold a twilight session for anyone who would be interested in finding out more. We will have several previous Fellows with us to talk through their own experiences, and Ralph Waller, Director of the Farmington Institute, will also be joining us. This will be a valuable opportunity to talk through the application procedure, and the whole subject of Fellowships, in preparation for the 9th February 2004 deadline date. The aim of the Farmington Institute is to support, encourage and improve Religious Education in schools and colleges. Fellows are free to study any aspect of Religious Education they wish, although preference will be given to applicants whose work can be seen to be of direct value to the teaching of RE in schools. The Fellowship will cover the cost of tuition, board and lodging where appropriate, essential travel and, by negotiation with the school, the salary of a replacement teacher. For one term, university-based, this will normally be based on the cost of a teacher in term time only, at a suitable point on the national scale. Applicants should preferably have had at least three years in their present post. Find out more at the Farmington website www.farmington.ac.uk. The RE Centre’s twilight session is to take place on Wednesday 7th January ’04, here in the EDU building from 5pm until 8pm, with light refreshments.

  • The Provision and Training of Teachers of Religious Education: Guidance for Governing Bodies of Primary Schools
    THE PROVISION AND TRAINING OF TEACHERS OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION: GUIDANCE FOR GOVERNING BODIES OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS The purpose of this paper is to make school governors aware of the findings and recommendations of Religious Education the Truth Unmasked which reports the outcomes of the recent inquiry held by the All Party Parliamentary Group for RE (APPG). The full text of the report can be found on the RE Council website: www.religiouseducationcouncil.org.uk Governors' Legal Responsibility for Religious Education (RE) Governing bodies and headteachers in all state schools must ensure that provision is made for RE for all pupils, unless they are withdrawn by their parents. Further details, in particular guidance on the RE curriculum to be taught in different types of school, may be found in two documents on the Department for Education (DfE) website: 1 Religious Education in English Schools: Non-Statutory Guidance 2010 http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/teachingandlearning/curriculum/a0064886/religious-education-in- english-schools-non-statutory-guidance-2010 2 Religious Education (RE) in Academies http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/pdf/r/re%20and%20collective%20worship%20in%20acads%20and %20fs%20qanda.pdf The Importance of RE The APPG concluded that: Religious Education has a vital and powerful contribution to make in equipping young people, whatever their backgrounds and personal beliefs with the skills to understand and thrive in a diverse and shifting world.

  • From the Vicar of the University Church
    From the Vicar of the University Church Thank you for your interest in the role of Farmington Scholar at the University Church. St Mary’s is a busy city centre church with almost half a million visitors each year. Among them, we welcome a number of school groups, often working in collaboration with Christ Church Cathedral. Together with the Farmington Institute, we are seeking to appoint an experienced teacher to help draw on these resources in order to coordinate the provision of teaching and learning materials to serve the school curriculum. We are particularly interested in resources which will serve Secondary School children and young people. We would hope that the post-holder would seek to build partnerships with the University of Oxford, its museums and its outreach and access programmes. While there is no expectation that the post-holder would be a practising Christian, we would expect the post-holder to be theologically literate and broadly in sympathy with our mission and values. Ideally, we would like the Farmington Scholar to start in September, to serve for one academic year, and to be with us for one day a week during school terms. Nevertheless, we are keen to recruit the best possible person and this is open to negotiation. A January start is also possible. If you would like any further information about the post or an exploratory conversation, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. With every good wish, The Revd Dr William Lamb Vicar, The University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford University Church of St Mary the Virgin High Street Oxford OX1 4BJ 01865 513391 [email protected] www.universitychurch.ox.ac.uk Registered Charity Number 1130491 UNIVERSITY CHURCH OF ST MARY THE VIRGIN FARMINGTON SCHOLAR www.universitychurch.ox.ac.uk FURTHER PARTICULARS Profile of the University Church The University Church of St Mary the Virgin is a significant city centre church at the heart of Oxford.

  • Gillian Holmes
    ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY TO WHAT EXTENT DOES THE HEAD TEACHER’S VALUE SYSTEM INFLUENCE THE ETHOS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED PRIMARY SCHOOL Gillian Holmes A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Anglia Ruskin University for the degree of Doctor of Education Submitted: December 2015 1 | Page ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT FACULTY OF HEALTH, SOCIAL CARE AND EDUCATION DOCTOR OF EDUCATION TO WHAT EXTENT DOES THE HEAD TEACHER’S VALUE SYSTEM INFLUENCE THE ETHOS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND VOLUNTARY CONTROLLED PRIMARY SCHOOL Gillian Holmes The research stems from the researcher’s own experience of establishing an ethos in a Voluntary Controlled Church of England Primary School, and a desire to find out how other heads have developed theirs. Using a case study approach, the research asked heads to explain their personal values, and if and how they used these to establish their school’s ethos. The data generated has provided a detailed description of each school and multiple perspectives of the head teacher’s influence upon their school. The case consisted of six Voluntary Controlled Church of England Primary schools in rural Essex. Five semi-structured interviews took place in each school, one with the head teacher, followed by interviews with two teachers and two members of the support staff. An observation in each school looked for evidence of the ethos through all aspects of the setting, including the use of indoor and outdoor areas, the content of displays, and the interaction between the pupils and the adults. Each school’s most recent inspection reports from Ofsted and the Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools were scrutinized for references to school ethos, and values, which could contribute towards the data collected in each school.

  • How Far Can Religious Education Contribute to Multicultural/Intercultural Education?
    Scriptura 89 (2005), pp. 235-246 HOW FAR CAN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CONTRIBUTE TO MULTICULTURAL/INTERCULTURAL EDUCATION? Robert Jackson University of Warwick United Kingdom Abstract In this article the emergence in Britain (late 1960s) of a secular religious education (RE), utilising material from the religions of the world and referring to its role in multicultural education in the 1970s will be given. Developments in the history of the relationship between multicultural and antiracist education (till early 1990s), when new critical approaches to multicultural education appeared, will be discussed. Policy discussions internationally are now recognising the importance of the religious dimension to intercultural education. New interpretive and dialogical pedagogies of religious education share similar analytic stances towards culture and religion and similar critical and reflexive methodologies to recent approaches to multicultural/intercultural education. Thus, religious education employing these pedagogies can make a direct contribution to an intercultural education working to promote social cohesion. Key Concepts: Multicultural, antiracist, policy documents, interpretative approaches Introduction In England and Wales, at least until the late 1950s, religious education (RE) in publicly funded schools was a form of non-denominational Christian instruction that had moral and civic goals (Jackson, 2004:Chapter 1). This view of religious education began to change in the 1960s. By the mid 1960s, religious education scholars were criticising forms
